Man-Erg!
One of the best VdGG tunes, and Top 5 material for me from the band.

I do think Man-Erg is a better song, but House with No Door is more strictly a ballad and a great one at that.

House With No Door is the most catchy.

Another loose interpretation of ballad.
Lost.

The Undercover Man, one of the most emotional songs of all time. Excellent lyrics

Man-Erg and Undercover Man are about tied, but gave it to the latter because it needs some help.

Man-erg is ranked #3 in my top 5 of VdGG songs, so it gets my vote. Pilgrims is my second choice from this list, Undercover Man third. However, all of these five are excellent.

Man-Erg, although 'gentle' is not a word I'd use to describe it!

Man-erg is my favourite song from the list but it is neither gentle nor a ballad. House With No Door is my second favourite on the list and it is a gentle ballad so it gets my vote.
